Verdict

A couple of these are penalised for recent wins including MS PARFOIS but Anthony Honeyball’s charge won at Warwick in January and still has a bit in hand on these terms with Postbridge, a winner at Plumpton last month, despite the latter having a conditional’s allowance helping his cause. Royale Champ and Here Comes Molly are hard to fancy given neither have shown any worthwhile form over hurdles so far.
